it won't lose tuning... i'm just asking if someone has tuned the PCM to something other than factory settings.

Any idea who tuned it?? If its got a bad tune, that can cause it to run rich or misfire.

Also, what kind of plugs are you running?? Make sure they are the stock heat range AC Delco or NGK's, colder plugs or other brands (Bosch ) can make it misfire or foul plugs.
